4 Reasons Against

Does Not Support 3D Image Projection

Most similar spec multimedia projectors that have been around for around the same time as the 1420Wi do not support 3D image projection. The Epson 1420Wi is no exception to this as it too does not support 3D image projection.

We compared this multimedia projector to all the other data projectors with a 3D image projection and we think the Acer P7605[plb_2204603_price] is also worth considering.

It is worth also looking at alternative projectors which also support Full HD projection including the Acer P7505[plb_2185126_price], or the Epson EB-1985WU[plb_2399673_price] which is also cheaper.
